[chorus:]
        |Cm                    |Cm7            F7            |Bb
My eyes adored you, oh I never laid a hand on you, my eyes adored you
                                                     {last beat}

Like a million miles away from me you could not see how I adored you
                               Eb D C Bb   {walk down}
   |Cm7       F7              |Eb      Bb
So close, so close and yet so far___
 
[verse: 1]
|Bb               Dm                |Fm                       Eb
Headed for city lights, climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
  |Cm               Eb           |Ab            F7
I worked my fingers to the bone, made myself a name
                               | /      /       /     /   
|Gm              Dm             Fm             Bb     Eb  
 Funny, I seem to find, that no matter how the years  unwind
        |Cm                  Eb                  |Ab         Fsus   |F7  
Still I reminisce about the girl I miss, and the love I left behind
 
[chorus:]
        |Cm                    |Cm7            F7            |Bb
My eyes adored you, oh I never laid a hand on you, my eyes adored you

        |Bb                                            Bm7b5     |Cm     
Like a million miles away from me you could not see how I adored you
   |Cm7       F7              |Eb      (E)
So close, so close and yet so far___
